The person who bought at RM20.00 during the COVID mania was not an investor; they were a gambler. They bought a commodity stock at a 100x PE ratio during a once-in-a-century pandemic, thinking the mania would last forever.

Charlie Munger’s view on this:

"The first rule of an investment is: Don't lose money. The second rule is: Never forget rule number one."

The person who bought at RM20 has already broken both rules. The market does not care about their loss. The share price is not sitting at RM0.965 because of them; it is sitting there because of industry oversupply. The "pity" you feel is an emotional trap designed to make you fearful.
